Kimbo, just stop the lying.

Well, at least we are both Python fans.

OK, SPC. How about you just tell me, in one sentence or less, what it is you believe concerning the Scriptures, and why you think your opinion is compelling? Sorry – and I’ll gladly wear the blame for this if it makes you happy – but in among references to stuff such as “kingship descending”, “hills are nations” and “worldwide floods”, all of which no doubt makes complete sense to you – I am unable to figure out (and as before, I’ll gladly take the rap for that), your “big idea”, and it it completely lost on me.

So, please, in one sentence or less, please tell me what it is and why…and if not can we at least agree to pass one another by, as life is too short to get lost in mutual obscurity.

Griff, did you see the story of what your fellow travelers did in Paris? They destroyed a memorial to the victims of the Paris attacks, and threw the candles that has been placed there at the police. What does that tell us about the character of AGW propagandists?

He can’t identify who it is on his blog but since the perpetrator apparently issued a press release equally presumably the MSM or anyone else can since the terms of the injunction seem to relate specifically to the yournz blog.

Taxpayers have already handed over millions of dollars to institutions which failed to deliver the education they promised. Steve Deane asks if we can have any confidence this won’t happen again

Taxpayers have already handed over millions of dollars to institutions which failed to deliver the education they promised. Steve Deane asks if we can have any confidence this won’t happen again From top: Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi; the Warriors take part in a culture course at the Auckland University Marae; Donna Grant; Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre.

January 22, 2013, just another day of just another NRL pre-season. The mid-summer afternoon sun shines down on the 94 players and staff of the New Zealand Warriors league club as they twirl taiaha with varying degrees of effectiveness on the lawn outside Auckland University’s marae. Former captain Ruben Wiki is there, as is legendary halfback Stacey Jones, alongside stars of today. Wayne Scurruh, at the time the club’s chief executive, turns up despite the occasion falling during his holiday.

The day is a big deal, but it isn’t overly serious. “It’s a bit of a laugh,” Warriors captain Simon Mannering chuckles into the camera during an interview with Maori TV.

The joke, it turned out, was on the taxpayer, who kindly provided $565,316 to fund the club’s drive to improve its cultural awareness. Of course, few of the people on the marae that day knew they were completing in just one day a tourism course that would normally have involved 18 weeks of study.

At least five organisations have apparently opted for the latter, with disastrous consequences.

So far the TEC’s investigations have turned up more than 25 million in overpayments. The institutions involved have been forced to find millions of dollars from within already stretched budgets to repay the money. ( good luck with getting the money back).

Labour has tabled hundreds of written parliamentary questions and lodged numerous Official Information Act requests seeking more information about a further 30 providers, mainly PTEs.

@nasska, no, it’s hosted in Singapore and reputedly operated by Phillip Nottingham from Australia though it posts material obviously originating in NZ. If Mr Nottingham ever returns to NZ he will probably attract the interest of the NZ police and courts. Equally if the conspiracy that operates the site is ever properly investigated and exposed there would be nothing to stop the NZ affiliates being charged. That the site is hosted overseas gives no legal protection to NZers who use it to break the NZ law.

Sorry stephieboy and Griff. This is from a non-Right Wing source, and the words of the French President.

‘France’s Hollande slams ‘scandalous’ Paris climate protest clashes’

‘Brussels (AFP) – French President Francois Hollande on Sunday condemned the “scandalous” behaviour of far-left activists who clashed with riot police in an area dedicated for memorials to the Paris attacks ahead of key UN climate talks.

Around 100 people were arrested after a small group of protesters at the central Place de la Republique square pelted officers with bottles as well as candles that had been left in tribute to the victims of the November 13 attacks.

“These disruptive elements have nothing to do with defenders of the environment,” Hollande said at an EU-Turkey summit in Brussels.

“They are not there so that the (COP21) talks succeed but are there solely to create incidents,” he said.

“It is doubly regrettable, even scandalous that this happened at the Place de la Republique where flowers and candles have been left in memory of those who were killed by the terrorists’ bullets” in the November 13 Paris attacks, he said.’

13 Christians Who Risked Everything to Defend Biblical Truth

‘As America continues to grow more hostile toward public prayer and conservative religious viewpoints, younger generations of courageous Christians will be faced with the challenge of defying the norm of secular culture to defend prayer and biblical truth.

In his book No Fear: Real Stories of a Courageous New Generation Standing for Truth, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins highlights 11 instances when young men and women risked everything to defend biblical truth and their religious beliefs from intense societal, political, cultural and spiritual opposition.’

You may well be right about Lauda Finem being hosted in Singapore…..I was sure that there used to be a map showing LF’s address in Amsterdam but I may have been thinking of another site.

Agree that Mr Nottingham will regret undertaking any visits of nostalgia to NZ…..his stay could well be longer than intended. Point is, so long as he stays away from these shores he’ll remain a valuable source of info for people who don’t see the need for name suppression.

Now which alleged ” fellow travellers “are you suggesting we are ??? Another low slime ball attempt at a smear . However it’s heartening to know Pentecostals can be super hypocritical and moon batty after all!.

I read stuff on that site. The Speaker often says In Parliament that it is a place of “robust debate.” Apparently someone thinks that far past being a place of “robust debate” YourNZ is a place of “hateful and hurtful fabrications.” What?

Any judge who has to read all the stuff on there from over the weeks, which sees the pitiful, amateur press release and then deal with its authors would wish he/she had done plumbing not law.

Awww C-mon

Naaska, when I was first reading and not commenting on KB he was everywhere posting away on every thread available. If YourNZ closes down he could come back!!! That being the case I reckon the judge was a little harsh!

It will be interesting if in order to win their case against yournz.org the Nottinghams and Mark Spring have to release their ISP logs to show they were not in fact writing anonymous abuse and defamatory statements on that blog as was alleged.

A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted.

The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife. “Fetch the Bible,” he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner. “Now find Psalm 23,” he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to the floor, and showing dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw. The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.

That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed! . One man asked, “Can he do regular dog tricks, too?” “I haven’t tried yet,” the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog. “HEEL!” the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor’s forehead and began to howl. The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, “Good Lord! He’s Pentecostal!”

That’s an open question, Don. Seeing that it is due to science that we even know about the Big Bang, I’m pretty sure that any further explanation will come from scientific endeavour rather than consulting bronze-age manuscripts.

A mike says atheism is the lack of belief in gods.
That is it. All else is optional.

My understanding around the energy necessary for the creation of the big bang is it is the result of matter entering a black hole in another place outside our universe.
The rest is way above you capability to understand but it is held as valid by some theoretical physics.

I think George has a mental problem actually, a stronger version to what his hero Dunne has and I think it’s probably related to the same disorder Len Brown has: Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Same symptoms are evident in all three cases.

Maybe Pete George will get some sort of Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 thingy against this site. After all you’ve said he is “completely mental” on here.

Actually some might say you’re ‘going after his livlihood, destroying his life, affecting his family, simply because you don’t like him. Simply because of the words he used. And that’s no different from someone breaking in and stealing, worse in fact, because as you know, your job is part of who you are, and your reputation and competence in it is carried with you everywhere you go.’

If I recall right there was one throwaway comment some time ago by George that Spring’s employer wouldn’t be too impressed with the kind of comments Spring was making openly on twitter and covertly on yournz. That was it.

I doubt that a Judge would be so easily influenced Alan. They work on evidence and ramifications arising from actions established by that evidence. If it was simply what you say, I seriously doubt any Judge would have said what s/he said in that injunction. Judges hate to be overturned on appeal, and if that’s all it was, it lays them wide open to that action.

Alan Wilkinson

There is no testing of evidence on an interim injunction. It is merely a holding operation until the proper hearing. It relies entirely on the accusations by the applicant and the defendant does not even know the matter is being considered.

Alan Wilkinson

Section 19 (5) includes:

In deciding whether or not to make an order, and the form of an order, the court must take into account the following:
(a) the content of the communication and the level of harm caused or likely to be caused by it:
(b) the purpose of the communicator, in particular whether the communication was intended to cause harm:
(c) the occasion, context, and subject matter of the communication:
(d) the extent to which the communication has spread beyond the original parties to the communication:
(e) the age and vulnerability of the affected individual:
(f) the truth or falsity of the statement:
(g) whether the communication is in the public interest:
(h) the conduct of the defendant, including any attempt by the defendant to minimise the harm caused:
(i) the conduct of the affected individual or complainant:

In the substantive hearing the judge has no choice but to look at all the evidence concerning these factors and not merely the claims made by the applicant in his affidavit.

12 Threshold for proceedings
(1) An applicant referred to in section 11(1)﻿(a), (b), or (c) may not apply for an order under section 18 or 19 in respect of a digital communication unless the Approved Agency has first received a complaint about the communication and had a reasonable opportunity to assess the complaint and decide what action (if any) to take.

Where is the Approved Agency does anyone know? I’m not aware of any being set up yet.

@Pete George
Agency doesn’t come into effect until 2017

There are also new aspects that come into effect in 2017:

1) New communications principles to define your rights and responsibilities in a civil context. These principles are over and above the criminal offences spelled out in the HDCA, and will be managed by the District Courts and an approved agency.

2) An approved agency to handle disputes involving harmful digital communications. You will be able to call on this agency to help resolve issues involving harmful digital communications. This agency will be able to refer matters to the District Court if a resolution can’t be reached.

3) New District Court powers. District Courts will be able to order a range of remedies for civil cases involving harmful digital communications, such as takedown orders, cease and desist orders, name suppression orders and orders to publish corrections and apologies. The District Court will not be able to give fines or prison terms, but it will be able to fine individuals up to $5,000 or sentence them to 6 months in prison if they don’t comply with District Court orders.

I didn’t read Pete George’s blog correctly the first time; it seems he was ‘served’ this ‘court order’ via email! therefore it must be bogus. I am pretty sure you need to be served papers in person. Any lawyers here can confirm this ? cheers
